Ramadan Reminder

Wednesday, June 1, 2011

Because it's never to early to start getting ready for Ramadan.

Rajab is here and so we're two months away. Here's a nice post on the blessings of Rajab.

"The Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said: “Rajab is the month of Allah, Sha`bān is my month, and Ramadan is the month of my Ummah.”...Imam Abu Bakr al-Warraq said: “in the month of Rajab you sow the seeds, in Sha`ban you irrigate them and in Ramadan you reap the harvest.” He also said: “Rajab is like a wind, Sha`ban is like a cloud and Ramadan is like rain.”"
